Outstanding Mediator

5.0 stars

Posted by Lawrence January 11, 2016

We retained Joel as a Mediator and found him to be incredibly well prepared and insightful. Not only is he highly intelligent but he has an unique ability to speak with someone on a personal level and aid them in recognizing the benefits of a negotiated resolution. The subject case was very complicated and I am convinced that Joel’s efforts were crucial in our reaching a settlement. I highly recommend Joel as a Mediator.

About me

I have extensive legal, business, mediation and arbitration experience in a wide variety of domestic and international commercial matters. I am a proactive, creative and tireless mediator and a fair, efficient and impartial arbitrator used by parties in matters ranging from basic contract disputes to extremely complex multi party situations with a great deal at stake.
